I have been severely put off investing in equities by my bad timing in the past (basically took out ISAs at the top of the 1999/2000 bubble and I don't think they are worth what I paid for them still!!)
however I am aware I should be saving for the longer term (university expenses primarily, as well as for possible future house moves) and wonder if its time to save in equities again. Feeling a bit of a numpty so not sure where to start tbh. Or whether/how to move my previous ISAs.
Where on earth to start? Or should I just keep saving in low risk cash options and accept I'm never going to accumulate much in the way of saved wealth?
